College Memorial Park cemetery is an old black cemetery founded in 1896 on Houston's west end by Buffalo Bayou Park. I went here recently on a class trip to get to know more about history first had. A lot of times people tend to view history in books or on Wikipedia. Rarely do people get to experience and touch history first hand. It is important to understand our history and to feel and touch it. Because we can't know where we are going unless we know where we came from.

This is a bit late but here are the pictures of the last Saturday Night Cosplay. I had my new camera this time around but my SD card screwed up and it wouldn't work. So most of these pictures are from my phone. Thankfully Lightoom fixes everything. Or at least it makes everything better. Anyways, on with the show!

Seiwa Mart is a Japanese Market with locations in LA that recently opened a new location here in Houston. They offer high quality imported Japanese food items, condiments, and freshly made food. Finding specifically Japanese goods here in Houston can be a bit tough at times so having a market that specializes in Japanese goods is a godsend.

Despite some camera issues which I will talk about below Saturday Night Cosplay was again a blast. I like going to these events. If anything it keeps the Houston Cosplay community as a really tight knit group.

I normally don't do anything on the 4th of July. I tend to just stay at home and hope the neighbors don't cause too much trouble. This year I ended up meeting one of my friends over at Miller Outdoor Theater for the annual 4th of July celebration. It wasn't half bad actually. Other than the overbearing heat it ended up being a nice night out. Here are a few pictures that I took while out.

I have been far too lazy for the last few months. I am finally getting around to post pictures of events that I went to over a month ago. I know I know! I promise to try and do better.

This is the second time I went to Game Guys warehouse. I missed the 3rd meetup for this event due to the weather. This is the 4th cosplay event that I went to back in June.

This past weekend I took a short trip to Dallas to see the Hatune Miku concert for her 2016 North American Tour. It was the first concert that I went to in a while and Hatsune Miku was on my short list of artists that I really wanted to see.

This trip was also my second to Dallas. My first trip was during an evacuation so I didn't really have much of an opportunity to go around town. I didn't go around much this time either but I did walk around a bit around the historic district and downtown a bit.

One of my resolutions this year was to try and get into better shape by running. My goal right now is to get up to a Half Marathon by the next Houston Marathon in January 2017. After running in the ABB 5k in January my next goal was to run a 10k. I did that this past weekend with the 2016 Pear Run in Pearland, TX.

Saturday Night Cosplay is an event held at GameGuys Warehouse over off of 45-South and Broadway. GamesGuys Warehouse is a gaming arcade with consoles, gaming PC's and arcade games. They also sell and repair retro systems and games. I knew places like this existed but I didn't know one was so close to where I live.

A bunch of people who went to Anime-No-Kon ended up going here afterwords where we hung out up until around midnight playing Cards Against Humanity. We are all terrible people.

This was a kinda last minute event that popped up on my schedule that I decided to goto yesterday. I believe this was their first year running this little convention. It was hosted at the UH Main Campus University Center.

Will I come to this con next year if it goes on? Maybe. It depends on my schedule. I would like for it to continue on and it would be great if it remained free. Although that may have to change if it gets too big. I will have a few suggestions at the bottom on how it could be better for next year.
